Abstract
Lysergic acid derivatives are specialized metabolites with historical, agricultural, and medical significance and were known heretofore only from fungi in one family, the Clavicipitaceae. Our data show that several
Aspergillus
species, representing a different family of fungi, also produce lysergic acid derivatives and that the ability to put lysergic acid into its amide forms evolved independently in the two lineages of fungi.
